I've walked in to many a joke at the end and had to be told the joke knowing the punchline. Some jokes have GREAT memorable punchlines that instantly return the joke to your mind. Try posting some punchlines, just to see who all recognizes the jokes. If clean, please feel free to quote the joke if you wish, but try coming up with the endings that you think others will recall.

I was talking to the duck.Then why do their doors have locks?Why the long face fella?Not another Breathalyzer test?!if this is a thermometer, where's my pencil?

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

I don't know. Part of the experience of the joke is the story. If you are familiar with the concept surrounding the joke, "The Aristocrats," you will see the entertainment is not in the punchline but in the story itself.

The talent agent says, "That's quite an act! What do you call yourselves?" The father replies, "The Aristocrats!"

A true jokester never jumps in and stops the joke saying, "I know that one!" for the same reason. If you only know one joke, but 50 ways to tell it, you know 50 jokes. In contrast, if you know 50 jokes, and one way to tell it, you only really know one joke.

"If I happen to fall from the tree, SHOOT THE DOG!""You've not come for the shooting have you?""Not exactly...""Got any grapes?""No sir, I would not send a knight out on a dog like this!""Nope! I'm a frayed knot!""Do you think I should have said 'DiMaggio?'""You have a drink named 'Stan?'""It happened all so fast!""You see how good it works?""Yeah I though this might happen, all you've done since you got here is complain!"

I had 3 out of 5 on the original post. I'm finding the hard part is trying to remember stories everyone would have heard.

"That Peters, he never could handle a French accent..."

Great idea, since I did walk in on the punchline a while back, and everyone laughed their heads off and then dispersed, without telling me the joke. If anyone knows which joke this punchline goes to, please tell me. Here it is:

I can clearly see you're nuts!

Thank you.
